Fireworks: The View's Joy Behar Tried To Use Bush 41's Death To Trash Trump…It Did Not Turn Out Well

As the country mourns the passing of the late President George H.W. Bush, some have memorialized his career in public life, his grace, his decency, and his love for America. He was a war hero, a statesman, and formed one of the most odd couple friendships with his former rival, Bill Clinton. On The View, which is mostly a cesspool of progressive nonsense, co-host Joy Behar decided not to show any class and attempted to use the late president’s death to trash Trump. It was not pretty, but Meghan McCain was there to run interference, robbing Behar of her left wing screed. As with many a commentary on this show, it would have been total liberal garbage McCain said that they should just continue focusing honoring the late Bush 41, which led to Behar blowing up. Whoopi Goldberg cut off the fight by saying they were going on commercial break, where Behar and McCain were visibly shouting at each other before the camera cut out (via Daily Caller):

The panel of “The View” women were eulogizing Bush, who passed away late Friday night, when Behar compared his policies and views on climate change to those of Trump.

“I want to say one thing about him that was not picked up really because as a candidate he said, ‘those who think we’re powerless to do anything about the greenhouse effect are thinking about the White House effect,'” Behar said. “This president that we have now is going to unravel everything that he did and Obama did, and if I ever become a one-issue voter, it will be about pollution.”

“Can we focus on the president, please?” McCain interrupted. “I just, I don’t want to talk about Trump when we’re in a moment — when we’re honoring a great president.”
